Adolescent-Centered Pregnancy Options Counseling after Dobbs (On Demand-No CE)

This recorded webinar presents tangible strategies and resources that health care providers can use to support decision-making autonomy for adolescents who have a positive pregnancy test in the current legal climate. In the webinar, clinicians guide participants in doing a values clarification exercise, share best practices for providing adolescent-centered care (i.e., specific language and phrases to use, resources including new educational material by Power to Decide to share with adolescents on pregnancy options), and go through an interactive set of cases to practice adolescent-centered Pregnancy Options Counseling. Then a legal expert from If/When/How reviews the legal landscape shaping the provision of comprehensive Pregnancy Options Counseling and resources for ongoing support. The webinar concludes with a Q&A period, where clinicians, legal experts, and youth answer audience questions about the provision of adolescent-centered Pregnancy Options Counseling.
